Contact the Attorneys at FRED, Specializing in Men’s Rights, and Securing a Fair Outcome for Our Clients
For unwed parents, establishing paternity is the most important step in securing and protecting your rights with your children. Parentage must be established before custody, parenting time, and child support issues can be determined. Of equal importance, Michigan has recently enacted the Revocation of Paternity Act, which now allows legal parents to contest paternity under certain circumstances and within specific time frames.
